It has been fantastic hearing from current Royal Holloway Year in Business students who have been promoting the companies where they are doing their placements. 2nd year Management students are encouraged to look out these companies as they make their placement applications and also to consider a range of placement roles. We have heard from Amin who is doing a placement within Logistics and Andrea who is working directly for the Chief of Staff to the COO in SAP. Some of these placement deadlines are coming up this week!
We are running Year in Business Resilience workshops next week, the first week of term, for all 2nd years who have not as yet secured placements and are looking forward to seeing all back in College next week.
our YIBs out on placement who we have heard from include :

that. I've had the best opportunities to work on amazing projects and
experience first hand what HR Operations looks like.”
